The small state edge is at play

White House Infighting Thwarts Movement On Guns

The tiny, decaying small states are suckers for NRA money. This electoral edge is being swamped by coastal urbanization, and the suburban Repub vote is at stake. Read the article and the split in Trump staff is apparent along these lines.

Trump has nothing to offer the small states in return, not enough budget liquidity for earmarks anymore. The Repubs are about to lose the election, it all depends on the timing of the next mass shooting in Florida or Texas. Trump cannot lose either state, Repub political future rests on a bunch of unstable NRA castratti.

We will have to buy off the small states, somehow, in the MMT. But that is cheating, that is like bringing our social insurance contracts to MMT meetup. The impetus for buying off the small states need come from Congress, they need to think it out.
